Its upsetting because i can't find much on St Francis. Usually on saints i can easily find info like what color candles to use and what day of the week is best to petition them. But not on St Francis. And usually you can find a lot of tributes to saints, and i couldn't find any of those either on the web in regards to St. Francis.

If my pet has some health issues, would St Francis help on that (and heal my dog) or do i need to pray to another saint like St. Jude?

And i am going to use a white votive candle to use to light to him. And i will use olive oil to anoint his candle. What is the best prayer to pray over it though, like what psalms?

Do you have to offer 'payment' to him?

Update: nvm i did see that you offer him brown candles but that is all i found in regards to that kind of stuff. Can i offer a white instead? This is only because i cannot afford to buy a brown candle as i would have to order it online and i am unemployed atm, and i already have white votive candles

So I posted about my lovely little dog who sadly took a stroke last week. We didn't think she was going to make it. However, her recovery has been miraculous, and it is the wonderful Saint Francis who I petitioned that I must thank!

The day of her stroke was awful; her eyes were rolling back in her head, she was vomiting everywhere from the dizziness, couldn't stand. We thought we would have to say goodbye. I was determined, as was she though, that she wasn't going to give up yet. I petitioned Saint Francis and I'm completely astonished! The day after her stroke, I was going through some old papers and school stuff and came across a poem about St Francis that I had studied in school! (Assisi). It gave me a sign he was working for me. Since then, my little girl has made brilliant progress. She is able to stand, albeit with some difficulty, to go to the toilet outside and is able to make small steps. The vet is very happy with her progress and thinks she should be walking properly again soon in the next few weeks. She's already showing her little naughty streak even though she's been ill, and I think she quite likes being nursed and pampered lol.

Thank you St Francis! And everyone at the Lucky Mojo forum, not to mention the MISC candle servers

Should I thank him now or wait until she has made a full recovery? Also, I've seen on here that I should thank him with a white candle, others say make a donation to an animal shelter. What would be best? Would he accept a donation to the animal shelter I got her from?

I also said in another thread that I would apply a drop of Blessing oil to her head and Healing oil to the four corners of her basket. Or should I just leave it and continue to let St Francis work for me?

Right now as I write this, she got up out of her bed, and managed to walk in a semi straight line to come and find me! (She gets worried if she knows I'm not about). Saint Francis you are amazing!

Thank you Miss Aida. She continues to make slow but steady progress; apparently, stroke rehabilitation in dogs is anything up to two months. She has already made such brilliant progress, more so maybe than other dogs, so I cannot thank St Francis enough for coming to my need and helping her. My dog means the world to me.

Heavenly Father, our human ties with our friends of other species is wonderful and a special gift from You. I now ask You to grant our special animal companions your Fatherly care and healing power to take away any suffering they have. Give us, their human friends, new understanding of our responsibilities to these creatures of Yours. They have trust in us as we have in You; our souls and theirs are on this earth together to give one another friendship, affection, and caring. Take my heartfelt prayers and fill Your ill or suffering animals with healing Light and strength to overcome whatever weakness of body they have.

(Here mention the names of the animals needing prayer).

Your goodness is turned upon every living thing and Your grace flows to all Your creatures. From our souls to theirs goodness flows, touching each of us with the reflection of Your love. Grant to our special animal companions long and healthy lives. Give them good relationships with us, and if You see fit to take them from us, help us to understand that they are not gone from us, but only drawing closer to You. Grant our prayer through the intercession of good St. Francis of Assisi, who honored You through all Your creatures.
Give him the power to watch over our animal friends until they are safely with You in eternity, where we someday hope to join them in giving You honor forever.
Amen.

I adopted a bunny four months ago. I adopted her from these jerks who did not take good care of her and now she has a bunch of health issues. She is still a young bunny. I have been petitioning St Francis since I have had her and he ALWAYS answers my prayers. Actually I was very worried the other day that she had some thing called bladder sludge due to her symptoms the other day that showed it, but I prayed right after I saw these terrible symptoms, and what do you know.... She had an xray today and no signs of bladder sludge or stones. But I mean EVERY single time I pray to him he answers my prayers. It's amazing.

If you have a furry or scaley friend who needs help, please go to him because he is amazing.

Thank you, St. Francis. I love you so much and I cannot explain how grateful I am for all you have done for my little Luna and me.

Thank you Sister Jean, I'll take a look. My 15 year old dog was her best friend from the moment we got her 12 years ago, and he died in January. I thought she was going to be okay because all the tests showed nothing wrong. Maybe she missed him too much, and died of a broken heart. And now I have one too..

Thank you Saint Francis, your vigil is still burning but you have come through on helping my little Cleo get the best outcome for her circumstances, thank you for restoring her eyesight in her right eye and also thank you for putting extra kindness into the vet's heart who waived the fees for me.
